A young girl carries mountain rock for sale at a Cheung Chhnok mountain in Kompong Cham province, December 1, 2013. About 10 percent of Cambodian children aged between five and 17 are child labourers, engaging in work deemed unsuitable or illegal for them - with about 240,000 children working in hazardous conditions, local media reported, citing a government report released last week. Compiled by government agencies and the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the Cambodia Child Labour 2012 report says Cambodia has about 429,000 child labourers, 383,000 of whom live in rural areas, the Phnom Penh Post reported.
